Iran Drone Strike Tests US Ceasefire as Strait of Hormuz Tensions Escalate

A drone strike attributed to Iran hit a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, testing a fragile 60-day US-Iran ceasefire and halting IMO efforts to free thousands of stranded seafarers. The Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly 20% of the world's oil flows — sits at the heart of the prophetic end-times theatre, where Persian (Iranian) aggression and Middle East instability are repeatedly foreshadowed. Ezekiel 38 identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key actor in the coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, and Christ warned that 'wars and rumours of wars' would mark the season preceding His return (Matthew 24:6-7).
